Hello,

I 've read  this paper: Beherens et al, Neuroimage 2007,34:144-55
"we examin each fibre population to confirm that the volume fraction has not 
been forced to zero by automatic relevance determination (we threshold at 
0.05)."

Program(xfibres.cc) is written as 
"nfibs=0;
 if((m_sum_f[f]/m_nsamples>0.05)) nfibs++;
  ... 
 m_beenhere = nfibs "

But, mean_f2samples contains <0.05. 
What is the meaning of "we threshold at 0.05" ?

And m_beenhere is used by "bool neighbour_initialise".
I donot understand  "bool neighbour_initialise" well.
I assume (possibly incorrectly) that it decides whether to 
execute  "initialise_tensor".

Many thanks for your help.
